We chose two olympic champions because we aim to send several messages through our choice. We wanted to motivate all our female and male athletes to succeed, and show them that they will be honoured and celebrated by carrying the country’s flag and leading the delegation

and also stated that

These athletes are worthy to lead the rest of the athletes towards repeating the achievements in Tokyo,
The leadership of the delegation saw an opportunity to send many special messages by choosing the duo, the most important of which is to motivate all players to perform and strive for achievement, and thus receive the appropriate prize, Carrying the flag at the Olympic Games is a great responsibility, and it was necessary for us to confirm that our delegation includes champions that have proven experience in succeeding at the Olympics
